Berri Meets Aoun 2 Days after Holding Talks with Miqati Amid Cabinet Crisis
Speaker Nabih Berri held talks with Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun in Ain el-Tineh on Friday, two days after meeting with Premier Najib Miqati who is at loggerheads with the FPM chief.
The National News Agency said that Berri and Aoun discussed the latest developments.
Miqati said following talks with Berri on Wednesday that the cabinet crisis which erupted earlier in the month hasn’t been resolved yet.
Asked by reporters when he would call for a session, he said: “When the issue is resolved, we would immediately call for a meeting.”
But “the problem hasn’t been solved yet,” he stressed.
Cabinet sessions were suspended on Feb. 1 after Miqati accused ministers loyal to Aoun of obstructing the government’s work.
Berri’s meetings with the two officials were a sign that he is seeking to mediate to resolve the crisis. The speaker has previously said that there is no need for him to interfere.
